Langley Room


Dear Langley family and friends,






We have been exploring different textures in the Langley room this week as we played with gloop and frozen ice rings. The children have been describing what they can feel and making scientific predictions and theories.
“It’s gooey” said Archie, describing the texture of the gloop.
“The water melts it” suggested Tom as the children examined the frozen ice ring,
“I lick it?” asked Jock excitedly.
The children watched as the ice slowly melted away and released the hidden shell treasures inside!

We have also been examining our facial features, identifying the colour of our eyes and hair. We have been using collage materials to represent these on photographs of our faces. Come and have a look at our growing display gallery.

Please note that next Wednesday 23rd January we will be having another water fun day (hopefully the weather will be a bit warmer this time!) Please send your child in their labeled swim gear, with a towel and a dry change of clothes please. Also, on Friday 25th January we will be celebrating Australia Day so children are welcome to dress up in green and gold or something else to represent Australia.

Best wishes,

Jess, Amelia, Nicole and Ange
